This is the week where, suddenly, the same thought has dawned simultaneously upon everybody in politics: The Trump Era is over, it's ending disastrously, and it will not be repeated. Hence MAGA's footsoldiers are now positioning themselves for the inevitable aftermath.
And they're all pursuing self-interested, mutually incompatible strategies. Tucker and the Groypers recognize the exhaustion of Trumpism and are seeking to retcon/replace it with their own false Buchananite intellectual lineage and appeals to destroy the system as it is.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a true populist however stupid she may be, is coming out as a champion of "Disillusioned MAGA" - broken promises and betrayals. Another angle.
Either way, you can see the movement tattering and fraying into particulate fragments right before your very eyes. Kirk's assassination threw open the floodgates in a psychological way, but the struggle was on long before that, basically once this term's cake was baked w/tariffs.
